3 Must-Haves for Your Man Cave


So you've decided to put together a man cave of your own. Why should Bruce Wayne have the coolest man cave around? Well, for starters, he's Batman. Also, he is a lot richer and smarter and cooler than you. Oh, and he isn't real, and so doesn't have to work with real-world constraints.

So forget about Bruce Wayne. You are never going to have a man cave like his. But you can still do pretty well for yourself without the need to become a reclusive billionaire. First, you are going to need a room to renovate. Have you considered the attic? Provided you have the right kind of space, you are going to need to add a few pieces of tech that are essential to every man cave makeover. Here are three:

A Genius Box


They used to call the television an idiot box. In part, because of its idiotic content. Also, a person had to be an idiot to waste so many hours of their life in front of a television. But the real idiot is the person who cannot see and utilize the many benefits of having access to so much information in such a convenient format.

With a few smart choices, you can turn your television into a genius box. If you love football, you can get the 2016 Sunday Ticket at no extra cost on DIRECTV starting as low as $35 per month. For those times when you leave the man cave, you can access most of the channels and shows you love watching right from your smartphone. You would have to be an idiot to ignore smart options like these when setting up your man cave.

Just ask yourself, what would Bruce Wayne do?

Smart Speakers


You don't need giant, room-rattling, 9.1 spherical-surround, IMAX speakers in a small to moderate sized room. Use your head. You don't need bigger, more expensive speakers. You need smarter speakers.

Regardless of what you have connected to the oversized TV, you should consider a portable Bluetooth speaker for casual listening. Techradar offers their take on the 9 best Bluetooth speakers on the market today. There are no bad choices on the list, and several really good ones that didn't make it.

The reason you need this type of speaker is for those times when you are listening to music on your smartphone. You can easily throw the sound from the phone to the far more capable speaker you have tucked away on a bookshelf in your cave. When you leave the room, you can send the sound back to your device and never miss a beat.

The Ultimate Gaming Rig You Built Yourself


You cannot call yourself a spiritual successor of Bruce Wayne if you don't have at least one piece of tech that you MacGuyvered together with your own two hands. There is no reason that piece of tech shouldn't be the ultimate gaming machine.

Not knowing what you're doing is no excuse for this project. There are more video and step-by-step guides to building the ultimate gaming PC than you can shake a joystick at. These guides detail the parts you need, and how little you can get away with paying. Most of the guesswork has been removed. You don't have to try to figure out which parts will work best together. Some system integrators have already done that. All you have to do is put the pieces together like an overgrown Lego set.

There is more to the modern man cave than a few pieces of technology. It also has to have personality, and a fridge. But after the fridge, don't forget the genius box, the smart speaker, and the ultimate gaming PC you built with your own hands and iron will. Hey, it's your man cave. Make it an adventure worth sharing.

6. 4 Common Mistakes People Make when Renovating their Bathroom

Your kitchen may be the official heart of the home, the central nerve center where the family meets over meals and performs tasks from paying bills to playing games, but your bathrooms are the rooms where you come again and again. Your bathroom is where you come to take relaxing baths, spend hours when ill and stare at that same ugly tile for half an hour as you get ready in the morning. That’s why bathroom renovations rival kitchen renovations on home makeover lists. Here are four common mistakes people make when renovating their bathroom. Spending Too Much How much is too much when you are renovating a bathroom? A good rule of thumb is not to spend more than five to ten percent of the home’s value on renovating a bathroom, since you can’t recoup more than a fraction of the investment when the house is sold later. The only exception is when you are adding a new bathroom to the house to bring it up to the neighborhood average. For example, if you have a three bedroom single bathroom ol...

Mini Storage Can Help Your De-Clutter Your Home

Your home has the ability to feel like an oasis in the middle of the city – your personal refuge from the traffic and congestion that always manages to clog up Thornhill. Unfortunately, for far too many people, this isn’t the case, as they come home to a cluttered and disorganized space. It isn’t that their homes are dirty. They’ve just accumulated a lot of junk, and too much of it can hinder their ability to let loose and relax after a long, hard day. Believe it or not, it’s true. Clutter has been found to affect the brain negatively. A recent study conducted by researchers at the Princeton University Neuroscience Institute found that the average person finds it difficult to concentrate in a chaotic environment. It also diminishes your ability to process information as the visual stimuli of clutter distract your brain. When exposed to clutter for longer periods of time, your brain can suffer from fatigue and result in negative mental experiences. If you’ve been feeling anxious or frus...

When it comes to spring maintenance, though, it’s a great idea to have your HOA take a look at your house’s exterior, from the roof all the way to the foundation, to make sure everything is in ideal condition for the upcoming summer season. Continue reading to learn more. Look for Damages Caused by the Winter The winter season can be brutal on your home, so the spring is the perfect opportunity to see if there has been any damage left behind from the wind, snow, ice, and freezing temperatures your house had to endure. A good place to start is by looking at the roof, which you can do surprisingly easily using binoculars rather than climbing up to it. You should keep an eye out for missing, curled, or loose shingles, damaged or bent flashing surrounding your chimney or any points where the house makes contact with the roof. Als...
